[TheForge] Sidearm Burner Parts

Thu Jan 16 08:16:01 2003

        This sounds like a really good solution to a bolt together system to
make the burners.
        There is another option though.........take a 1/8 pipe cap and drill
a hole in it and forget the mig tip.......if the forge needs more
gas.......drill the pipe cap out larger.
